The Trip Of Paradise

 

“Dad” Amanda called “get ready, we’re going soon”, Amanda and most of her family (minus Joel) were picking some one up from the airport, ”yeah, yeah, I heard you the first time, why do you want this English freeloader over here any way?” George asked his daughter, Amanda rolled her eyes “typical, he’s not even here and your already putting him down, he is not a freeloader, you agreed with his dad about every thing, its not my fault he’s not paying rent, he did offer” she explained “fine, shut up and lets go already, I’m tired hearing about him, lets see what he’s really like” he said walking out the door followed by his wife, Amanda paused for a minute and looked at her self in a mirror “I hope your telling the truth about all the things you said about me, cause boy, you’ll be surprised when you see this mess” she said to her self, she was cut short from the convocation with her self by her dad “you coming or you gonna stand there and look at your self?” he ask impatiently, Amanda groaned and replied “yeah, keep yer damn shirt on, geez” at that she exited her house and into the car. “So how long a drive is it to Denver?” Amanda asked out of curiosity “lets just say I should of brought a pillow and the TV with me” he replied in a mocking tone, Amanda sighed and looked at the window, there was nothing to look at besides stretches of bald land and dead cacti “its gonna be a long drive to Denver” she thought to her self, she opened her eyes and was greeted by the beaming sun “huh? Oh, I must of fell asleep, where are we” she asked her self, she looked out the window and saw the airport “oh good, your alive” some one mockingly announced, Amanda looked up front and saw her dad looking at her in the rear mirror “yeah, unfortunately so” she replied, She looked out the window a bit, she saw the airport get closer and her heart stared to beat faster, Amanda took a deep breath and looked at her watch it red 11:24am “he said he would arrive at noon time” she reassured her self. When they finely got there Cal rushed to the check in post to see if he made it there before her, she looked around the area surrounding the check in post to see if he was waiting for her, her friend was no where to be seen so she sat down in a metal waiting seat “waiting for some one?” a familiar voice asked, the same deep British accent that rang in her ears and sent a vibe down her spine, she turned around and saw her most beloved friend Adam tired eyed and slouching, she gasped and jumped on him and gave him a big hug and they both fell on the floor, she was on top of him as she put her face into his chest and started crying “why are you crying? Did you get a booboo?” he asked curiously “no, I’m just so happy that we’ve finely met in person” she explained wiping tears from her face, he smiled at her and kissed her fore head, just then a shadow blocked the sun over the couple “so, you’re the freeloader, nice position, you have 5 seconds to get off her” George told Adam, he slid out from under her and stood up picking his bags on the way “well done, that took you 3 seconds” George explained “stop picking on the poor boy” Kath told her husband “Hey! I’m Kath, Amy’s mom, how you doing” she asked “tired and hungry, that small pack of peanuts doesn’t last long” Adam replied “you saying that our food isn’t good enough for you? Hmm?” George ilooked at him like he was from a different planet for a while in till Amanda came in with “ok, well, lets go home” and so they did.
